Reveal Reviews

Completely invisible and ineffective leadership that is openly disdainful of their employees. Most C-levels are in their position because they were yes-people willing to sell their souls by working crazy hours - including the writer of a recent review. (Interesting they’ve been around so long and are so scant on specific details, right?) Go look at LinkedIn and check out the professional history of the executive team; precious few have actual experience doing that job, never mind building and operating a business. That can work when contributors are empowered and inspired, but nobody is. My role is cross-functional and I have not found a single IC/manager in any department that is not battling multiple major fires, and they were raging before the double acquisition. Everything posted here about the Zoom backgrounds and LinkedIn banners is accurate, and that outward appearance is the only thing they’re focused on - not the actual operation of the business or building for the user. The only growth is happening because of buying other company’s customers. All of the financials are being done manually in Excel, so the likelihood that numbers are incorrect is extremely high. The CEO demands in-office work and literally checks the badge scans to confirm people are there!! (Shouldn’t he have 800 better things to do???) There’s NO flexibility to even take a few hours at home if you need it, even though most of the company is now remote. And since you can’t hire the talent you need in 2023 to run a SaaS business without remote talent, holes are plugged by consultants. Who tend to work remote….oh and those invisible C-levels? Guess how many of them live out of town. Nobody can make decisions because there are no goals, no vision, and no guardrails, and people aren’t willing to make mistakes lest they get text messages from the CEO on a Saturday. To make this abundantly clear: Every story (EVERY. STORY.) I’ve heard about the CEO from someone not firmly rooted in his behind paints him as an obsessive micromanager that refuses to be challenged or take responsibility for being the ultimate leader of the company. I’ve not engaged in CEO worship for a long time, for a multitude of reasons, but this one’s complete lack leadership acumen and emotional maturity is outrageous and disgusting. The entitlement to our labor is borderline abusive, and everyone should take their talent literally anywhere else. I’m about to go back to waiting tables to get away from this madness, that’s how bad it is: I would rather work for tips again than give even another ounce of my effort towards making this business a success.

3 weeks into being part of an acquisition, the only interaction with the actual Reveal company, is to get called into meetings to make sure our Zoom backgrounds, MS Teams backgrounds, and our LinkedIn backgrounds are the approved images. I don't have a problem using a background for Zoom meetings (even if the purpose is to remind you that you are replaceable with anyone willing to have the same background), I have a major issue with HR reviewing my LinkedIn profile and sending messages about not having the Reveal background on my personal account. If you choose not to update your background, you are told it will have negative impact on your career. A 1 billion dollar acquisition, hundreds of new employees, the most important thing is LinkedIn banners.
